Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives today passed H.R. 2647, the Safer Occupancy Furniture Flammability Act, which was introduced by Griffith and Congresswoman Doris Matsui (D-CA):

“Setting a federal standard for furniture flammability will provide clearer direction to the furniture industry and will lead to safer products in our homes.
